TURKEY.
TOTAL DISMEMBERMENT.
UNDER MANDATE TO ALLIES. Received May 20, 8.5 p.m. Paris, May 18. Inspired French comments say that the occupation of Smyrna by the Greeks 'is the first step towards the total dismemberment of the Turkish Empire. The apportionment, writes "Pertinax," in the Echo do Paris, is as follows: — Constantinople will be internationalised under the American mandate, France refusing it. The rest of Turkey in Europe, with Smyrna, will go to Greece. Armenia will be independent, protected by America. Mesopotamia and Palestine will be under mandate to Britain, who will be predominating also in Arabia, while Syria (including Adana) will be under mandate to Franca, and Italy will have Adalia. The- Turkish remnant will have as its new capital Konich or Broussa.
The newspaper Midi says the decision regarding Syria is uncertain, and there is doubt about America's willingness to accept a mandate covering Cons-tantinople—Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.
